Abstract
Description
半導体製造プロセスにおいて、構造の微細化に伴いアスペクト比が高い凹部にボイド(隙間)なく膜を埋め込むことが求められている。凹部に膜を埋め込むプロセスの一例として、堆積(Deposition)とエッチング(Etching)とを交互に繰り返すことで凹部の底部からボトムアップで膜を埋め込む技術(以下「DEDプロセス」ともいう。)が知られている。DEDプロセスを用いることで、ボイドの発生を抑制できる。 [Embedding process]
2. Description of the Related Art In the semiconductor manufacturing process, along with the miniaturization of structures, it is required to embed a film without voids (clearances) in recesses having a high aspect ratio. As an example of a process for embedding a film in a concave portion, a technique (hereinafter also referred to as "DED process") is known in which a film is embedded from the bottom of the concave portion in a bottom-up manner by alternately repeating deposition and etching. ing. By using the DED process, it is possible to suppress the generation of voids.
図1及び図2A~図2Fを参照し、実施形態の成膜方法の一例について説明する。以下では、凹部にシリコン窒化膜(SiN膜)を成膜して埋め込む場合を例に挙げて説明する。 [Film formation method]
An example of the film forming method of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2A to 2F. In the following, a case where a silicon nitride film (SiN film) is formed and embedded in a concave portion will be described as an example.
まず、工程S1では、狭窄部を含む凹部が形成された基板を準備する。図2Aに示されるように、基板100は、凹部110が形成された下地120を有する。凹部110は、開口部111、狭窄部112及び底部113を含む。開口部111は、凹部110の上部において開口した部分である。狭窄部112は、開口部111から底部113までの途中に形成され、開口部111及び底部113よりも断面視での幅が狭い部分である。底部113は、凹部110の下部における凹部110の底面114を含む部分である。図示の例では、凹部110は、開口部111から狭窄部112に向かうにつれて連続的に狭くなり、狭窄部112から底部113に向かうにつれて連続的に拡がる形状を有する。ただし、凹部110は、図示された形状に限定されず、開口部111から底部113までの途中に狭窄部112を含む別の形状であってもよい。凹部110は、トレンチ、ホール等である。下地120は、例えばシリコンや絶縁膜で構成され、部分的に金属や金属化合物が存在していてもよい。 (Step S1)
First, in step S1, a substrate having a concave portion including a narrowed portion is prepared. As shown in FIG. 2A,
次いで、工程S2では、図2Bに示されるように、凹部110の底部113よりも開口部111に厚く形成される条件(以下「低カバレッジ条件」ともいう。)で凹部110にSiN膜130を形成する。 (Step S2)
Next, in step S2, as shown in FIG. 2B, a
次いで、工程S3では、図2Cに示されるように、凹部110の底部113と開口部111とで同じ厚さに形成される条件、又は凹部110の開口部111よりも底部113に厚く形成される条件で凹部110にSiN膜140を形成する。 (Step S3)
Next, in step S3, as shown in FIG. 2C, the
次いで、工程S4では、図2Dに示されるように、凹部110に形成されたSiN膜130,140を、底部113よりも開口部111のエッチング速度が大きいエッチング条件でエッチングし、SiN膜130,140を部分的に除去する。これにより、開口部111及び狭窄部112が拡がるので、後に再び行われる工程S3において狭窄部112よりも底部113の側にSiN膜140が埋め込むことができる。 (Step S4)
Next, in step S4, as shown in FIG. 2D, the
次いで、工程S5では、工程S3及び工程S4を含むサイクルの繰り返し回数が所定回数に到達したか否かを判定する。工程S3及び工程S4を含むサイクルの繰り返し回数が所定回数に到達していない場合、再び工程S3及び工程S4を行う。すなわち、所定回数に到達するまで、コンフォーマル又は開口部111が薄いSiN膜140の成膜と、SiN膜130,140のエッチングとを繰り返す。これにより、図2Eに示されるように、凹部110における狭窄部112よりも底部113の側にボイドレスでSiN膜140を埋め込むことができる。また、工程S3及び工程S4を含むサイクルの繰り返し回数が所定回数に到達した場合、工程S6に進む。所定回数は、1回以上である。 (Step S5)
Next, in step S5, it is determined whether or not the number of repetitions of the cycle including steps S3 and S4 has reached a predetermined number. If the number of repetitions of the cycle including steps S3 and S4 has not reached the predetermined number, steps S3 and S4 are performed again. That is, the formation of the
次いで、工程S6では、凹部110の底部113と開口部111とで同じ厚さに形成される条件又は凹部110の開口部111よりも底部113に厚く形成される条件で凹部110にSiN膜140を形成する。これにより、図2Fに示されるように、凹部110にボイドレスでSiN膜140を埋め込むことができる。 (Step S6)
Next, in step S6, the
